Bold Forest Park is the name given to a collection of Country Parks in the south of St Helens. It forms part of The Mersey Forest. Bold Forest Park is still in it's infancy but the aim is to create somewhere that people from St Helens, Warrington and the surrounding areas can come to enjoy lots of outdoor activities including walking, cycling, horse riding, fishing and more adventurous pastimes li

ke Mountain Boarding and Segway Tours. To make this possible people from across the region including Councils, Landowners, Charities, Local Businesses and Local Communities will need to come together to share their ideas, create a plan, attract inward investment and then join together help to make it happen. Today, the BFP initiative is overseen by a Board comprising Borough and Parish Councillors, but day to day initiatives and activities are managed by a Steering Committee which includes many of the people listed above including volunteers from the local community. This ISN'T just a council initiative! Step 1 is to get an "Area Action Plan" for Bold Forest Park signed off by Central and Local Government. This Plan will give the Steering Committee the legal authority to consult with the community and then start to develop the strategy further. To get involved or for more information please visit the website and contact the Steering Committee.

Nice meeting visitors at Griffin Wood yesterday, a bit breezy for photography, but good conditions for landscape and close-up in sheltered parts of the woodland. Comma butterfly, note why it may be called 'Comma'.

This morning saw the launch event for Bold Forest Park junior parkrun. Congratulations to Jo Shaw and all of the team at parkrun for getting this fantastic initiative off the ground. A 2km fun run for 4 to 14 year olds will now take place EVERY Sunday at 9am at Colliers Moss North, starting at The Amphitheatre. They couldn't have done it without the support of Paul & Carl at Mersey Forest, Gemma and the team from Sports Development at St Helens Council, Bold Parish Council, Local Residents and dozens of donations that enabled them to buy the equipment.
